iZO Cleanze – Day 2, Julie Sinclair
OK, so it’s Day 2 for me on the iZO juice cleanze. Yesterday afternoon I found myself thinking about the bag of potato chips I had at home, wondering if eating one chip would ruin the cleanse. It wasn’t about feeling hungry (I haven’t been hungry at all due to the 11 pints of various juices alotted throughout the day), it was more about wanting to crunch, and to taste the salt.
When I got home I did not have that chip. Instead, I rode a stationary bike and then took the hour-and-a-half I would have spent on dinner (cooking, eating, and doing the dishes), to relax in a bath infused with Epsom salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil. It’s amazing to me how much time opens up when you take meals out of the picture.
The only thing that’s been challenging for me so far is the fact that the juices are cold, and it’s not warm here in San Francisco. I’m currently sitting with a heater at my feet and a coat on, and I’m still not warm enough. (My Spa colleague, art director Victor Maze, actually loves the coldness of the juices. You can read about his experience, here.)
For me, this juice fast would be phenomenal if it were 90 degrees outside. To help heat myself up so I can stay on the juice fast, I’m going to try to make it to Bikram yoga tomorrow morning–and also to complement the internal cleansing that’s going on. Can’t wait!
